​ Once there was a miser who sold all his possessions and, with the money, bought a great
piece of gold, dug a deep hole at the edge of the garden, and there he buried his gold. Once a day,
thereafter, the miser went to the garden, dug up his gold, and embraced it lovingly. One of the
miser’s workmen wondered why his master spent so much time in the garden. One day, he hid
behind a tree and soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure. That night, when the miser was
fast asleep, the workman crept into the garden and stole the piece of gold. When the miser found
that his gold was gone, he tore his hair and cried aloud in his hopelessness. A neighbour came
running to see what the matter was, and the tearful miser told him what had happened. Then the
neighbours said, “Pray to stop your weeping. Go and find a stone. Place the stone in the hole and
imagine that it is your piece of gold. The stone will serve your purpose, for you never meant to use

​

My next pet was a pigeon, the most revolting bird to look at, with his feathers pushing through the
wrinkled red skin, mixed with the horrible yellow down that covers baby pigeons and makes them
look as though they have been colouring their hair. Because of his repulsive and fat appearance, we

called him Quasimodo. Since he had an unorthodox upbringing, without parents to teach him,
Quasimodo became convinced that he was not a bird at all, and refused to fly. He walked
everywhere. He was always eager to join us in anything we did.

He would even try to come for walks with us. So you had to either carry him on your shoulder, which
was risking an accident to your clothes, or else you let him walk behind. If you let him walk, then you
had to slow down your own pace to suit his, for should you get too far ahead, you would hear the
most wild and pleading coos and turn around to find Quasimodo running desperately after you.
